“Denise is an excellent dog sitter. I feel at ease when I’m away knowing he is in great hands. I will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you Denise for being so wonderful to Ralphie”
“Rhodey had the BEST time at Veronique’s house over the holidays. She is very communicative and provided pictures/videos every day which is so appreciated. I could tell Rhodey was treated like family and got so much love while he was there! So happy I found a family I can trust to watch my pup. Thanks for taking such great care of him!”
“Wenxu and her husband are awesome sitters. They are very communicative, sent a lot of good pictures, flexible, and created a great environment for our dog. Would 100% recommend them!”
“Delmy and her daughter were so kind and just wonderful with my elder pup, Jake. Their home was warm, welcoming and super tidy. They provided daily photos and updates which were much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend booking Delmy and look forward to using her again. :)”
“well, like all of us, we love our dogs. I am so fortunate to find Vanessa. I felt she treated my pup like it was her own. Every time I saw a video it made me smile. When I came to pick her up, I didn't think she was going to want to come home. I felt like she was at a wonderful sleep weekend camp”
“We left Cody, our 7 yr old rescue hound mix with Isabella this past weekend. Isabella did a wonderful job watching him and sending us great pictures of Cody having fun with her dogs. I would definitely use Isabella again! Pick up and drop off were easy and Cody was happy! Five stars!”
“Sara took very good care of our dog Rosie. She sent us daily messages and cute pictures and this gave us peace of mind. Sara and her husband were both great caregivers and their two puppies became Rosie's new best friends. Thank you to all the team!”
“I would highly recommend Yaina to anyone for dog boarding. She was excellent with communication and sent many pictures while my dog was with her. She made the process very easy and took great care of my dog.”
“Aliyah was wonderful!! She is very kind and takes great care of the pups! My dog didn’t want to leave! Safe to say he had an amazing time. Thank you so much!”
“I left my 10-month old puppy with Julia and her family for 5 days and it was the best decision ever! Julia was amazing from the beginning. She reached out, was willing to speak on the phone and we met in person. When we went over for the visit she welcomed us in and really welcomed Oakley as her own. Throughout the day Julia would send message blurbs and pictures to show how the day was going and what my puppy was up to. Seeing the pictures of him so happy was everything I could have hoped for and more! Leaving a dog with a stranger can be scary but Julia made for an easy, relaxing, worry free trip!!! 10000% would book with Julia again!!”
“John has been caring for my Yorkie for several over night stays. Despite my dog’s anxiety she always settles in to staying at his house. She has made herself at home by taking over his dog’s bed. We will be using him again!”
“Nav was a fantastic dog sitter for our large husky! Even her family was very friendly and showed a lot of love to Maverick. We received photos and videos daily of Maverick playing with her dog, running around and sunbathing in their spacious yard. We are so happy to have found Nav and will definitely book with Nav again in the future ! Thank you again for caring for our pup!”
“This was my very first time using Rover and also the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone outside of family, so I was a little nervous. From the very beginning, Christina & Frank completely put me at ease. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and they were absolutely wonderful with my dog—treating her like their own from the moment we arrived. During her stay, they made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. They were able to administer her medication with no problem, and she seemed so relaxed in their home. Their two dogs were also amazing with her—it was such a comfort to see how well they all got along. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout the day, including texts, photos, and even a video. It meant so much to see her happy and at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and I would absolutely trust them with my dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Diana was amazing with my pup, Louis! He had an absolute blast — especially getting to run around outside and play with the other dogs and kids, which is such a treat for him since he doesn’t get that kind of freedom in Manhattan. I could tell he was well cared for and totally in his element. Communication was great, with tons of photos daily, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a loving, fun environment. I’d strongly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nelson is wonderful. Newton, my Doxie, came home rested, calm and clean. He did not loose weight because he was nervous as has happened before with other sitters. He walked him every day and sent me cute pictures of Newton playing, eating, walking, sleeping. Nelson greats an A+. I will use him again for sure. It was very clear that my dog felt very comfortable there.”
“Lesley was amazing with Winston. Winston is an only child. When he met Lesley, Karen and their 2 dogs (Dyson & Rory), Winston was scared. We stayed for almost 1 hr for meet and greet. Then, I took Winston back 2 more times for meet and greet so that Winston could be comfortable with Dyson & Rory. Needless to say, Winston bonded with both dogs, especially Dyson. Lesley and Karen were very accommodating, kind and attentive to Winston. Karen is home all the time. Winston is never alone. Their house and enclosed back yard is dog heaven. Everything is dog friendly. In fact, when Winston stayed with them, he did not like his dog food that he had been eating all his life, Karen supplemented his food by cooking for him. Lesley and Karen are dog lovers and will go above and beyond for Winston. I got daily photos and video of him. Winston loves staying with Lesley and Karen. He was mopping around the house for a couple of days when we got back home because he missed his doggy friends. I highly recommend Lesley and Karen. Winston will definitely be back!!!!”
“It was immediately clear when we met Sue that she is a gentle soul and great with animals. We boarded our dog with her for 2 weeks and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks so much for taking good care! Very happy to have made the connection.”
“Neo stayed with Sapna and her family for almost a week and enjoyed it thoroughly. Sapna shared photos of Neo through the stay and was always reachable. Would definitely recommend and go back next time.”

From the moment we met Anna, we knew she was a good fit! She made booking the meet and greet, drop off and pick up super easy. Scout liked Anna’s sweet disposition and I liked that she kept us updated! Scout came home happy and healthy. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone in need of a pet sitter!

We were in the middle of a long road trip and needed a safe, loving place for our ridgeback to stay for a couple of nights. Nav was incredible. From the moment we arrived, her family welcomed us with a smile and made us feel completely at ease. Our pup had so much space to run around and relax, and we received plenty of updates and adorable photos throughout her stay. They tended to all of her particularities with care and patience. It was clear she was in the best hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with Nav again. Exceptional care all around, thank you Nav and family!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our dog sitter was incredibly professional, organized, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was well taken care of. We truly appreciated the regular updates, including pictures, videos, and thoughtful text messages that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and in great hands the entire time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative sitter!
